In the imperial city, lanterns and festoons are hung all over, and colorful silk and red lanterns can be seen everywhere.People came in a hurry, their steps were brisk, and there was a sense of joy.Among them, a man walked slowly forward, looking out of place.Suddenly, he stopped walking and reached out to stop a young eunuch: "My father-in-law, did any happy event happen in the palace?"

The little eunuch raised his head, took a fixed look, and hurriedly saluted: "Young one, see Mr. Pei." Then he explained: "Mr. Pei, I was in a hurry just now, so I didn't see you. You adults do not see villains..."

"It's okay, father-in-law is not alone." Pei Ziqi smiled and said, "I don't know what a good day it is, everyone is too busy to see anyone."

The little eunuch smiled awkwardly, and said again: "It's really busy. Today is the queen mother's birthday, and everyone is busy with it. In previous years, the queen mother's birthday was also a little busy in the imperial dining room. This year, for some reason, the father-in-law suddenly ordered It is said that it will be established. No, everyone will be too busy."

"So that's how it is." Pei Ziqi said again, "Is the father-in-law going to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet now? If it is convenient, I will go with you."

"Master Pei is wise, the younger one is rushing to the birthday banquet." The little eunuch led the way and said, "Your Majesty Pei is polite. It is a small blessing that the younger one can be with you, so there is no inconvenience."

Pei Ziqi followed behind, smiling brightly.With Emperor Luo's temperament, he will definitely be present at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.And if he wanted Yun Yizhong's life, Luo Di's will was indispensable...

*******

At the birthday banquet, the Empress Dowager and Luo Di sat in the first seats, standing side by side.Luo Di moved slightly forward, and the Empress Dowager was slightly behind.The Empress Dowager was wearing a dark blue Zhai gown with a jade-colored singlet underneath.The waist is cinched with a large belt, and the face is decorated with bead flowers, and the end is luxurious and decent.

The queen mother looked around and smiled slowly: "This palace hasn't been this lively for a long time. Fortunately, you guys are willing to spend a birthday with the old lady Ai's family for the sake of saving face."

The eldest prince said with a smile: "Look at grandma, if it wasn't for the fear that grandma would find grandson annoying, grandson would want to bother grandma every day."

After nearly half a year of confinement, the First Prince lost a lot of weight.Her cheeks faded slightly, and her eyes were dark. It seemed that she must have had a bad time recently.Thinking about it, if it weren't for the blessing of the Queen Mother's birthday, he would still be confined, so how could he have a chance to get out of the imperial palace.

Luo Di glanced at the eldest prince, and said calmly: "The queen mother is getting old, so don't bother the queen mother. If you have free time, read a few more sage books at the mansion to cultivate your self-cultivation." To avoid embarrassing appearance.

The eldest prince's face turned pale, and he hid his hand in his sleeve, trembling slightly.

The queen mother smiled, and looked at Feng Yao aside: "This is the imperial concubine, she looks really pretty." She moved her eyes down: "You are pregnant? Good thing, how many months?"

Feng Yao got up slowly, Fuli said: "It will be five months before I go back to my grandmother."

The queen mother nodded, and said to the eldest prince: "Has the imperial doctor checked the pulse? This stomach looks like seven months old." The conversation changed, and she said: "By the way, where is the eldest imperial concubine? Why didn't you see her?" people."

The eldest prince hurriedly said: "The imperial concubine is physically impaired, I'm afraid she will ruin grandma..."

The Empress Dowager pointed to the Eldest Prince, and said with a smile to Luo Di: "Look, how caring this child is. Knowing that this Eldest Concubine is shady, she deliberately avoids seeing her. Seeing his filial piety, Your Majesty will spare his guilt."

Luo Di remained silent for a while, and said: "Since the queen mother is pleading for you, the confinement can be avoided."

The eldest prince was ecstatic, and hastily knelt down to thank Feng Yao, completely oblivious to Feng Yao who was beside him.She stroked her belly lightly and smiled softly.Beneath the calm mask, his lips were pale and his eyes were as dark as an abyss...

The Empress Dowager glanced at Feng Yao, looked at the empty seats, and sighed, "This third child can't come, it seems that he is not in good health."

Luo Di pursed his lips, remained silent, and the atmosphere suddenly turned down.

Seeing this, Qin Taijun got up quickly and said: "Nan'er is not filial, it worries His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and it also spoils the atmosphere of this banquet."

"Look at what the Majesty said." The queen mother smiled, "The third child is not in good health, so he won't come if he doesn't come. As long as you come, the Ai family will be happy. The Taijun usually lives in seclusion, and it is really difficult for the Ai family to see you. Fortunately, you gave the Ai family some noodles and specially entered the palace to celebrate the Ai family's birthday. Taijun can stay in the palace tonight, and we two old ladies can get together well."

Qin Taijun was slightly taken aback, hesitantly said: "This..."

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "What? The Majesty wants to decline the invitation of Aijia, the birthday star?"

Qin Taijun said: "No, old man..." The Queen Mother quickly took the words: "Then you should accept it." Turning to Wang Fu, she said: "Make the bed in the side hall, Qin Taijun will live there tonight."

Wang Fu responded in a low voice.

At that time, a young eunuch entered the hall.He ran to Sun Lu with small steps and whispered a few words.Sun Lu waved his hand, motioning for him to step down.The queen mother looked at Sun Lu and said, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Sun Lu stood sideways and said with a smile: "No matter how big the matter is, it's not as important as your birthday. It's Mr. Pei Ziqi who wants to meet His Majesty, so let the young one pass the message."

Luo Di frowned slightly, and said displeasedly: "What does he want to see me at this time? No! Let him go..."

The Empress Dowager suddenly realized, and quickly said: "Is it Mr. Pei who healed the third child's injury? Let him come in quickly, and let the Ai family take a look."

After receiving the order, a young eunuch ran out in a hurry.After a while, a man walked in slowly.Dressed in an elegant white Confucian robe, his figure was tall and upright, and his steps were not too fast or slow, with a graceful demeanor.

Pei Ziqi walked in slowly, cupped his hands and said: "For humble positions, see Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Prince..."

"All right, all right, there is no need to be too polite." The Queen Mother waved and said, "Come quickly and let the Ai family have a look."

Pei Ziqi was taken aback for a moment, and walked towards the Queen Mother leisurely.The queen mother looked up and down, and said with a smile: "This child is so handsome, the Ai family likes it just by looking at it. Your Majesty, the Ai family is in a good mood. Why don't you propose a marriage and betroth him to the third child."

Luo Di blurted out, and said sharply: "Mother." After recovering, he softened his voice: "He is a man."

The queen mother was surprised, and asked doubtfully: "Is it a man? But the Ai family looked at him, he and the third child are very suitable." Then said: "Your Majesty, did you deceive the Ai family because you are getting old?"

Luo Di's face turned blue and white, and he kept silent with a hoarse voice.

Seeing this, Pei Ziqi quickly rescued him and said: "The lowly position is indeed a man, the empress dowager admitted it wrong."

"Really?" The Empress Dowager said with a cold face: "Aijia is old. If you open your eyes and talk nonsense in front of Aijia, Aijia can't see it. Your Majesty, since this Mr. Pei has something important to ask you, you can go. National affairs are important, and the birthday banquet should not be rushed."

The Empress Dowager leaned on the chair, as if unwilling to speak again.Luo Di glanced at it, and said wittily: "My son will come whenever he goes." After finishing speaking, he gave a cold snort to Pei Ziqi, and walked away.

Pei Ziqi bowed his hands to the Queen Mother, followed closely behind Emperor Luo, and walked out of the birthday banquet...
